Death Valley is the hottest and driest place on Earth, so you’d be forgiven for not know that there’s a gorgeous, spring-fed pool right in the middle of it.

Here’s why you should think about checking into this epic resort for a poolside vacation in the desert.

The Oasis at Death Valley is a sublime resort in the middle of the desert landscape of California.

Thankfully, the resort’s beautiful greenery isn’t a mirage. The estate is actually right on top of an ancient, underground spring.

This spring is the reason behind the resort’s most surprising amenity – a sparkling, natural spring water pool.

As you might expect, the water here is a comfortable 85 degrees. While that might not sound refreshing, the air temperature in Death Valley can reach about 116 degrees in the summer.
